Poof: Zimmerman/DMX Fight Cancelled

Damon Feldman, the promoter for the fight between rapper DMX, and... guy-who-shot-a-teenager George Zimmerman, announced via Twitter that the fight has been cancelled; much to the dismay of the people who were hoping to see DMX "beat the living *$#( out” of him.

Public pressure to prevent the fight, in the form of online petitions and tweets is largely responsible for influencing Feldman's decision.

Via Twitter:

I walked away from av million dollar payday with this fight but to be honest I’d rather be happy and make people happy thank you

I'm glad. As much as I woulda like to see him get his face punched in, we shouldn't be treating a man who murdered an unarmed teenager like a celebrity. And even if he got knocked out, it wouldn't bring Trayvon back, nor help their families fill that gap in their lives that his death created.

Well put. I really would have to loved to have seen DMX whoop this coward's ass, but this match ultimately would have simply reinforced the fact that the media makes celebrities out of criminals and other no-talent ass-clowns. Oh well.

His heart was visible, and the dismal sack that maketh excrement of what is eaten.

Murder? Don't forget the part where he drove away from the courthouse with Freebird blaring on the radio because, you know, he didn't murder anyone.

And don't forget the part where Skittles Martin was the violent offender - something that a jury had to find true in order to let Big Z walk on self defense grounds.

Also, this promoter is a big fat ***** for walking away from a big payday over public butthurt. I'd promote this **** if I knew anything about promoting ****.

Foolish me, I forgot scary black people are always the guilty ones even when they're skinny teenagers armed only with skittles and sources confirmed Zimmerman was the one who initiated the confrontation.
